Sergey Protasov is a quantitative analyst and applied mathematician with over a decade of experience building probabilistic language models, statistical MT systems, and large-scale search ranking pipelines. He has driven search quality and A/B experimentation at major Russian tech firms (Yandex, Mail.Ru, Rambler) and currently applies probabilistic models in prediction markets and backend architecture for public-sector digital products. Sergey combines deep academic training (MSc and PhD-level work in applied math and computational linguistics from MIPT) with hands-on engineering—training ML models on hundreds of millions of examples and terabytes of data and running production-grade systems. Notably, his background spans both low-level system reliability (99.9% uptime Linux operations) and advanced EM/maximum-entropy modeling, giving him a rare bridge between infrastructure and statistical research.
